Miguel Angel Nava (born July 29, 1969) is a Mexican Luchador, or professional wrestler best known under the ring name, Mike Segura. North American fans knows Nava under the name Super Nova from his appearances in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). Nava originally worked in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's (CMLL) Minis division and held the CMLL World Mini-Estrella Championship but later moved into the regular division. Nava currently works for International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) as Mike Segura.
Miguel Angel Nava made his professional wrestling debut in 1991; in 1992 then-CMLL booker Antonio Peña left Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) to form his own promotion, Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA); Peña had been the mastermind behind the CMLL Minis division and most of the Minis in CMLL decided to leave with Peña. Serrano and a number of other wrestlers were brought in to replenish the division. Working in the Mini division does not necessarily mean that Nava is a dwarf as several short wrestlers work in the "Mini" division. Miguel Nava was one of the wrestlers brought into CMLL to replenish the division, he was given the ring persona of Orito, a mini version of Oro who worked in CMLL at the time. On September 6, 1992 Orito won a tournament to crown a new CMLL World Mini-Estrella Champion after the AAA exodous, defeating El Felinito in the final. On March 14, 1993, lost the CMLL Minis title to Último Dragóncito, ending his reign at 189 days. In the mid to late-1990s CMLL did not focus much on their Minis division, their rarely made it onto their television shows which meant that Orito only used sparingly for a number of years. During the slow period Orito began a long running storyline, or feud, with El Felinito, a feud that the two of them would continue after jumping to AAA in 1997.
